What Gamespot Users have to say about Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords

  • Rating:6.5

    So many, many problems...

    I've played the Civilization series and enjoyed it a lot, and because GC2DL is so similar in concept and execution it was familiar and appealing to me from the outset. It's well-made for the most part, from the space art... Read Full Review

    Possibly the best space strategy game ever made

    The tech tree alone with nothing else would give this game a 8.

    Well. I am glad I waited a little while to put up a review of this game, because initially the Dread Lords were pissing me off. But now that I got some experience under my belt, I can appreciate the unbridled brillianc... Read Full Review

    Yet a little more from stardock... but gasp... still no multiplayer!!!!

    I'm not sure why stardock is so adamant about forcing people to play games by themselves. It seems like every game that comes out has at least a token multiplayer feature(even when it is shallow). But they resolutely m... Read Full Review

    Ok expansion, but still no multiplayer.

    Turn Based has a whole new meaning

    When I started playing this game, it was hard. The AI was actually amazing and sometime impossible to predict which left you devising new strategies each time you start a new game. So it's always fresh, it even learns fr... Read Full Review

    Another great Expansion pack from the guys at Stardock.

    Ever wonder what it would be like to run your own civilization? In space I might add? Well that's what Stardock has done for us, they have basically taken Civilization's, and put in space, with very positive results I mi... Read Full Review
